Replying to LO5206 --

Not a very learned or polished response from me, but a poetic one on the
subject of network connectivity between our souls (poem due to the lasting
influence of Barry Mallis's having introduced me to Rumi, which reawakened
an amateur's desire to try to write poetry):

What a quantum thing
distance truly is.
Across a room or
across an ocean,
distance is real
only if communication
has fled.
--
How may we always be
close and not distant?
We must stay in the
dance of communication
until we draw near --
until we dance
soul to soul.

With due apologies to the real poets on this list,
Best regards,
Byrd
